After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder
Chapter 143 A Little Watery Chapter 1
Let's do this for now. When she obtains the other two treasures in the future, she will give some to them.
Zhong Ningke didn't feel embarrassed at all.
Because in the handwritten note left by the old patriarch of the Zhou family, it was written that he had left a considerable fortune to his descendants.
And the three parts outside will be known to those who are destined to know.
At the same time, she also wanted to reap some good results for her descendants, although she didn't know why this good result had to be achieved in this way.
But now that the treasure map is in her hands, she must get the other two treasures.
It seems that I must find an opportunity to visit the Zhenguo Temple on Futu Mountain in the near future.
Return to the carriage.
Zhong Ning felt guilty towards Murong Xin. He had originally wanted to take him to see all the handsome young men in Nanfeng Pavilion, but then this happened suddenly.
They couldn't stay there any longer, so they just went back.
Murong Xin's beautiful eyebrows and eyes were curved into crescents, and her whole face was pink and tender, making her look exceptionally beautiful.
In response to Zhong Ning's apology, she smiled and replied, "Sister Zhong, there's no need to be so. I've seen almost everything I should have seen. Besides, what happened today was really exciting!"
Murong Xin suddenly became happy again when she thought about what happened in Nanfeng Pavilion just now when Zhong Ning solemnly introduced her as Princess Anqing Murong Huan, the legitimate daughter of Prince An's Mansion.
"After today, I'm afraid the story of Princess Anqing losing her temper for her beloved in Nanfeng Pavilion will spread throughout Shengjing!"
"That's not a red face, but a blue face!" Zhong Ning corrected.
"Oh, Lan Yan, it's a pity that Young Master Zhou was too badly injured. I couldn't see what he looked like."
At this point, Murong Xin angrily said, "This Nanfeng Pavilion is really outrageous. They actually dare to force women into prostitution and force buying and selling!"
"This is just the Nanfeng Pavilion. There's only one like it in Shengjing. The most common ones in the capital are brothels. There must be many girls in there who are forced to sell their bodies like today."
Hearing this, Murong Xin was indeed very worried, "Sister Zhong, is there no way for us to rescue them?"
"Save them? How? As long as human trafficking is still legal in this era and the brothels hold their contracts, they can't be saved."
Murong Xin was silent.
Because the four words "human trafficking" involve too many things. Not to mention other things, the number of slaves and maids purchased by various prefectures alone is not a small number.
If she dared to openly oppose these four words, it would mean standing against everyone in the world.
Never mind, ants have their own way of survival.
It's not something she can change.
After all, this is the Murong family's kingdom. She should be more tolerant within her ability.
Murong Xin seemed to have convinced himself and stopped talking about this matter.
"The young man we saw just now should be the top performer of Nanfeng Pavilion, Young Master Liuyue, right?" Murong Xin suddenly remembered the most beautiful woman in the world that caught his eyes when he looked up.
She really has an extraordinary appearance and unique temperament!
He had already caught everyone's attention just by standing there.
"It must be him! He's really good-looking," Zhong Ning exclaimed, "but the price is a bit too high!"
"I didn't think so at first, but ever since Sister Zhong taught me how to read the mansion's account books and calculate the mansion's income, I've been comparing it this way. Just seeing him costs three thousand, and this three thousand is my mansion's income for a month."
Murong Xin continued, "Calculated this way, it's really expensive."
Zhong Ning glanced at her in confusion. "You're the only master in your mansion, and with the servants and guards, there are only about a hundred people. Why would you need to spend so much?"
Zhong Ning had a reason to ask this, because at least half of the supplies in their mansion came from the allocation from the palace.
This example does not require any additional payment.
Other things, such as rice, flour, grain, oil, vegetables, meat, etc., are mostly produced by the imperial farm.
The other most expensive item was the monthly wages for the servants (monthly wages were divided into different levels, ranging from 700 coins to 3 taels of silver per month).
Add to that some miscellaneous items, but all together it wouldn't cost more than a thousand taels.
"My princess's mansion pays a hundred more guards than you do to keep them fed. A month's salary is only about a thousand taels at most." (The guards' salaries come from the palace, and Zhong Ning provides two meals and fruit snacks, and occasionally gives them some bonus silver.)
My goodness, you, a princess, spend three thousand taels a month.
Murong Xin was a little embarrassed. "Last month, I went to the Treasure Pavilion and saw a pearl-studded ruby crown. This one alone cost nine hundred taels. I also bought a few small gifts for my mother, so all in all... I spent more than I should have..."
"You are a filial person, your mother loves you so much!"
"Of course, when I left the palace, my mother gave me 12,000 taels of silver and asked me to live a good life outside." When Murong Xin said this, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have said something wrong.
"I'm sorry, Sister Zhong...I..."
"It doesn't matter, your mother also gave it to me..." Not only Concubine Wu, but also the Queen sent someone to deliver 20,000 taels of silver notes, and the Emperor also gave a small box of gold.
She kept them all well.
So she is not short of money at all.
But even so, she still felt that spending three thousand taels of silver just to take a look at the top performer at Nanfeng Pavilion was ridiculously expensive.
These three thousand taels, if placed in modern times, would be worth tens of millions, with this money there is nothing you can't do?
The key is that you can only take a look and can't do anything.
This is such a fucking loss.
Besides, she had already seen it.
It’s so cool to get it for free!
No need to spend money!
When Murong Xin heard Zhong Ning say this, she immediately put her worries aside. Fortunately, her mother did not favor one over the other, otherwise her words just now would have been suspected of instigation.
"How do you feel after seeing such a stunning person like Young Master Liu Yue?" Zhong Ning asked. In fact, she wanted to ask, after seeing the good ones, you can't keep thinking about Fang Ping, right?
Although Fang Ping should be the male protagonist of Long Aotian and would automatically attract some women, she still hoped that Murong Xin could be more rational, because she knew Fang Ping's ambition and it was impossible for him to stay with one wife forever.
Even if the wife holds a high position.
Fang Ping once told her that the biggest regret in the modern world was not being able to have three wives and four concubines. Now that she had finally come here, she had to experience that for once.
It's amazing because she thought the same thing.
After finally becoming a princess, you have to have a few male lovers.
She would never bury herself in the harem struggles just to win a man's favor.
Murong Xin thought about it and was still a little worried.
After all, her singing is so beautiful, but she was brainwashed by Zhong Ning, and she knows very well the sadness of the women in the harem who have to live in the deep palace for a long time, waiting for a man.
So after learning that Fang Ping had the ambition to have three wives and four concubines, he has been learning to let it go slowly.
Just like Sister Zhong said, a one-legged toad is hard to find, but two-legged men are everywhere.
